Um....given that the GTS4 engine is an RB20 that hardly differs from the one in the GTSt (apart from having a different sump with the diff in it), why would you expect the engine accessories to be the same as GTR rather than GTSt? It makes sense for front suspension and other chassis parts to be the same between GTR and GTS4, but not engine parts.

the suspension is NOT gtr neither are the brakes they are gtst, however the power steering pump part numbers match to r32 gtr ones being that it is an rb20 yes however it is an awd rb20 and thus these things have been changed over, don't ask me why they just have, the diffs are also not gtr items they are 4.3's not 4.1's like the gtr. but the engine parts are due to the awd system installed.

my rb30 is fully built, spool rods, cp's 20thou over acl mains and bigs reground .25, cometic head gasket, rb25de head with 100lb springs tomei 256 cams greddy copy intake, hks 600cc's, still thinking about manifold have t4 to4e master power turbo Brazillian thing real deal, awd adaptor plate arp head and mains studs, what else obviously nistune ecu will be getting put in place still looking for good QLD turner for it around bris vegas and still thinking about the clutch as funds are becoming tight. also just installed NEW r32 gtr gearbox. and need new engine mounts thinking of nismo items aswell as nismo thermo, not sure what intercooler to run and need another radiator as i sold it to a mate.

it's not i can take a photo for you tomorrow to suffice the suspension is different,

i have the whole drivers side off right now for the engine conversion, i went to get gtr nismo suspension for it and found it's gtst

Piggaz i agree with you as i work with diesel engines and seen the stroke on them, it's just what i have ascertained through research and other peoples experience??? been told many MANY times to redline it at 7.5k i want to take it to 9k rpm or more personally, with standard crank.

ok a couple of things have changed as they do i am now going to use standard balancer and balance the F*ck outta everything, and am now using a low mount gt35r off an xr6, and have since aquired a nistune rb20 ecu but has to be remapped as the guy i bought it off only had it at 173rwkw with gtr injectors and such on rb20det due to mercury tuning it and it blew his engine :(

poor bugger.

one of my major concerns with ecu is the fact that mercury tuned it :-/ how damaged is it going to be and how leaned out is he mixture??????

Dude you can't just put an unknown ECU on your car and hope it will work, great way to pop a motor even if it is a good tune, it is tuned for another car, not yours!!

Get it tuned properly, why even bother getting an ECU if you aren't going to tune it?

You can't expect to buy an ecu and not tune it. You need to put it on a dyno anyway so while you are there you may as well pay for a tune. Not to do so would be very false economy.

oh yeah totally agree. but i am concerned with start up. primarily

trent with the r34 ecu with the IAT tables can you set up air intake ignition and fuel trim? I'd love that feature, not sure if I should just fork out for a vipec and put it in the standard case instead though.

An airflow meter adjust fuel requirements for differences in IAT.

Pretty sure the GTR ecu has IAT correction.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
